Overview

With the goal of generating strong risk-adjusted returns, the Strategy invests in companies globally where we believe the upside potential is significantly greater than the downside risk.

We believe that:

Sources of market inefficiencies vary over time. The best way to capitalize on these inefficiencies and pursue attractive risk-adjusted returns is through an integrated approach that combines fundamental, bottom-up research and a top-down view of the global macrooeconomic landscape in a well-diversified portfolio.

Quality companies outperform. Quality companies are companies that have sustainable competitive advantages and can produce strong, unlevered returns on equity compared to their peers. Investing in attractively valued, high-quality companies can further contribute to strong risk-adjusted returns over time.

Typical Investment horizon is 3 to 5 years.
